To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FELIX GUETTHOFF, a citizen of the United States, residing at Three Rivers, St. Joseph county, State of Michigan, have'invented certain newand useful Improvements in. Union or Combination Suits, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements union or combination suits.

It relates. particularly to an improved combination or union outer or overall garment. j

The objects of this invention are, First, to

provide an improved union or combinationsuit which may be made reasonably 01056:. ,fitting and still be easily put on or removed.

Second, to provide an improved combination suit or outer garment which-is simple and economical in structure and attractive in appearance.

urther objects, and objects relating ,to structural details, will definitely appear from the detailed description to follow.

I accomplish the objects of "my invention by the devices and means described in the following specification.

The invention is clearly defined and pointed-out in the claims. 'l structure embodying the features of my invention isclearly illustrated in the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure '1 is a front view of my improved combination or union suit shown open, portions being broken away to show structural details. Fig. 2 is a rear view, portions being broken away' to. show structural details. Fig. 3 is a detail front view of amodified co1'1struction,'tln'- rlap of the body or coat ortion of the garment being omitted and a belt added. I

In the drawings similar letters of reference refento similar parts in the several views.

Referring to the drawing, A represenlsthe body or doat portion of my improved combination or union garment, and B the trousers. neck to the crotch. vided with slits but each side, forming a suitable flap B at the rear. This flap is secured under the rear portion A of the flap of the coat by the elastic strap D which I inf-pi'ovidedwith suitable button holes for the buttons (1 on the trousers. (See Fig. 2.) The front portion A of the flap of the coat is The garment is open in front from the The trousers are proformed by folding the material upon itself.

on one side the flap 1s permanently secured at thewaist hne a to the trousers, preferably by arow of stitches a. On the other side the fold is left open so that it may be opened,

to tie trousers by means of a suitable button, as c on the 'inside ofthe trousers. By this arrangement-of parts I secure a garment Which-has the appearance o 'a-two-piece garment, and one which can be very easily put on or removed, although it may be a close fit as when open and the strap C disengaged from the trousers, the openin is comparatively large.

In the modif ied construction shown in Fig. 3, the flap for the body ortion of the garment is dispensed with. n this case a belt B" is provided, the trousers and body of the garment being secured permanently together on one side at the front and detachab y secured together on the other side, the belt being made up of an inner'and an outer part c and b respectively, adapted to receive the waist band of the trousers between them. The 'fiapor upper portion 1; of the belt covering the buttons ef, gives a uniform ap earance to the belt on both sides.

y. improved garment .is comparatively I economical to produce and is, as has been previously stated, very easy to put on or remove. I have illustrated and described the same in detail in the form preferred by me, although I am aware that it may vary considerably in structural details without departing from my invention. I
